Hi,
I'm doing a sql cluster 2008 install on win2k8. I have 3 disks partitioned for data, backup and dtc. During the installation of DTC, I have noticed that even though the disks are partitioned, it seems that DTC see this as a whole disk rather than a partition. Does this mean that I will need to have another disk presented on its own?
Any advise well appreciated.
Thanks

Microsoft recommends that you put MS DTC in its own group with its own physical disk resource, if it is possible.

Are you using SAN or iSCSI initiator feature of windows server for strorage configuration. We had used the iSCSI with starwind application created vloumes and then configured storage.

Best practice for the SAN Partitions are
DATA 1
INDEX
LOG
MSSQL
DTC
QURUM
you can increase the partition as
DATA 1
DATA 2
INDEX 1
INDEX 2
LOG 1
LOG 2
BACKUP
MSSQL(For SQL binaries)
DTC
QURUM
DTC and Qurum should be seperate group
